Thermal roof survey in Wood Green: what you get
Your report sets out the thermal images alongside ordinary photographs, so it is easy to see which part of the roof each one shows. Each one comes with an explanation, the moisture readings and our recommendation. Premium reports are sent the same day. You can talk the findings through with us at the in-person consultation. There is a 12-month follow-up as well. We are often asked to look into ceilings that feel colder in places and stains that keep coming back, across commercial roofs, flat roofs and pitched roof slopes.
London roofs sit shoulder to shoulder in terraces and blocks, which makes care around neighbours part of the job. Images are taken to show the roof we’re surveying, with care for neighbours’ privacy. Mention access, height and anything unusual about the building when booking. The extra view helps most on steep slopes, tall stacks and rear additions.
The report works through the roof section by section, from the main slopes down to the gutters and outlets. It records what’s sound as well as what is not.

Why act early in Wood Green
A poorly insulated roof loses heat year after year. The camera can point to gaps and thin areas in the insulation, so you know where to put things right. Any roof job in Wood Green means planning around parking, neighbours and access. Knowing what’s needed early gives you time to plan it calmly.

Landlord and commercial surveys in Wood Green
Freeholders and residents’ companies use a roof report to plan and budget.
Surveys can also be booked by buyers’ agents acting for a client. Reports are emailed, so they’re easy to pass on.
Can I check my roof myself?
It helps to keep a record: dates of leaks, photos from the ground and any work done on the roof. Share it with us as you book, as it helps us focus the survey.
A lot can be seen from ground level. With binoculars, look for slipped or missing slates and tiles, gaps along the ridge and leaning chimneys. Never climb onto the roof to look.
How the survey works
After the inspection, everything we found is written up as a report with photos, sent to you by email. As for time on site, it typically takes an hour or two at a house, including the thermal images, and around 3–4 hours for a commercial roof. In a London conversion, the way into the loft space is frequently from a communal landing or the top flat. If that applies to your building, it’s useful to agree access with the neighbours or the managing agent first. Otherwise, the visit in Wood Green runs like any other.
- We start with the roof, its history and any signs of damp or heat loss.
- We check the conditions and note how they may affect the images.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- We back up the thermal patterns with moisture readings.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking near the property
- For a flat or shared roof, check access with whoever owns or manages the building
- Check pets are kept safely away

Advice
Tips that help
Over many surveys, some simple habits stand out:
- Clear leaves from outlets and gutters each autumn
- Keep dated photos of any marks on ceilings
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Don’t switch the heating off ahead of the visit
Once we have been, the thermal images, photos and readings go into a single report. We explain what each image may mean, with our recommendations. With a Premium Survey, you get the report the same day.
Have small defects in the covering fixed early. Once water gets under a membrane, it can travel far before it appears inside.

What we can’t see
We only report what can safely be seen on the day, so some things are outside what a survey can do:
- Seeing water directly, as the camera shows temperature, not moisture
- Hidden layers that need to be opened up to check
- Insulation values or heat loss calculations

Wood Green questions
Will parking be an issue for a roof survey in Wood Green?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space as you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is my home in Wood Green listed or in a conservation area?
We can’t confirm that for you, but Historic England’s list and your council can. Both listing and conservation areas can limit changes of roofing material, and councils can also use Article 4 directions.
Does the report include photographs?
Yes, every report has them. Each finding is shown in a picture where possible.
I live in a flat. Can you survey the roof?
Yes, once access has been agreed. Roofs over flats are often shared, so the freeholder or managing agent needs to agree access. We inspect only the parts we’re allowed to reach.
Which days do you carry out surveys?
Surveys run on weekdays, Saturdays and Sundays. To arrange a date, call 07833 053749 or email us.
Does someone need to be in?
Not always. An outside-only look can be arranged beforehand, but the loft and any rooms with damp need someone to let us in.
What happens next?
You receive the written report by email, with photos and recommendations. You can use it to talk to a seller, an insurer, a roofer or a managing agent, whichever applies.
Airspace, weather and Wood Green roofs
Alongside Victorian and Edwardian terraces, outer London has a great many interwar semis, often with hipped roofs of clay or concrete tiles. On a semi of that age, the small roofs over the bays, the hip tiles and any later dormer each need their own look. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these. The wider area around Wood Green has a long history of building, with Bruce Castle about 1.4 miles east. Period homes nearby can have lead valleys, tall chimneys and a patchwork of past repairs, and the council can say whether a home is in a conservation area.
For a London address like Wood Green, it helps to know about controlled parking before the day. If you look after a building such as St Michael's CofE Primary School, a drone or thermal camera can show a large roof in a single visit. If you look after a shop, office or commercial unit, for instance near The Mall Wood Green, thermal images can show trapped moisture across a wide commercial roof.
